Martinez, Sylvia - Lead Teacher

Mrs. S. Martinez

Lead Teacher

Hello,my name is Sylvia Martinez and I am the Lead Teacher here at Harry Shimotsu Elementary. Graduating from the University of Texas-Pan American, I have been a teacher for 27 years and enjoyed the challenge daily. I believe all students can learn. The advancement of student learning will occur if they are given the right tools along with the encouragement to have the determination to succeed. This year I will be the Lead Teacher which will change my role. My role will be to facilitate our staff when educating our students. This is an exciting time for me. I will give 100% of my time, effort and teamwork to succeed in our campus endeavor.

A little about my family, my husband is Arturo Martinez the Asst. Coach and two time State Chess Champion's coach. I have two awesome boys. Nicholas, my oldest, is a sophomore at Texas A&M University. My younger son is Gabriel and he is in 9th grade and will be a Sharyland Rattler football player.
